The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-02-01

choose 10 call him, Big Ban. is one Of
the most rolllcking 60 ahead men in
Congress. IL thing has TO be done,
he does II without any timidiiy OF
conjunction whether he understands
IL or not.
Representative Beach, Of New York,
whose mission in Congress is to cit
down upon all attempts at discrimina-
lion, by missing In every case upon
the regular order, is little man with
little grsyish mustache and large
prominent eyes that stand out like
knobs to hang bats on. No watch
chain adorns bis wTinkled vest. His
trousers, which incline 10 creep up
ward, project forward at the knee and
shoot away back at the foot. His pre-
dominating passion is for chewing to-
bacco.
Asa picture OF the ideal ancestor
hung in the library OF the ideal manor
house, the portrait OF the Hon. John
s. Barbour. OF Virglria, would be
classical. With his trim fgur >, slightly
dropping at the shoulders, full head OF
silvery hair, and the benignant ex-
preston on his fine 1atrisIchal feat
ures he is just the picture OF "Uncle
Toby"
Representative Boutelle, OF Maine,
Is the Adonis OF the Republican party.
II is q disputed question whether the
palm for beauty on the Democratic
side belongs 10 Mahonsy or Stabl-
necker, of NV York; but either Of
them beats Boutelle far and away.
Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, who
is regarded as one OF the soundeet law
vera 10 the HOUSE, is also one of the
most playful. II you watch him for
FIVE minutes as he saunters around on
the floor you will observe that in that
tins he will have had his srm around
the waist Of soma Republican mem
Der, he will have adjutt d the collar
and tie Of some particularly we'll
dressed gentleman and caretsed the
mousa acne OF some conceded one. II
a remarkably large or remarkably
small person comes in bis way he will
meet him in neck pugilistic encouut-
er, and he Is sure to have tickled some
fat man under the short rib. In thst
time he hiss been solving some knctty
legal conundrum, and he has been
smiling all the time.
Mr.. Weaver, the Greenback.D Dem
ocrat from iowa, looks like soldier
aud walks like one. He has short legs
aud wears wide trousers, out he takes
n long, steady step. He has, like At
torney General Garland, contempt
for evening dress aud ne, or wears IL.
When Mr.. Morrison, Of Illinois, put
on his ingle.breasted black cloth
coat, he looks like q bishop, bat Mr..
Cobb looks like cardinal all the time,
II has been observed thht Mr.. Nor
rison actually feels that semi. clerical
coat clothes him with piety. He has
never been known to use profanity
while he hsd 1t on.
Mr.. Hath, OF Missouri, Gays he
never knew a more temperate body OF
men than the members OF the present
Congress.
Many and various are the remarks
made in the galleries about the bald
heads on the floor below. But the
head piece OF Mr.. Cowles, OF North
Catolins, attracts more serious atten-
ton THAI any OF lis rivals. A large
groove, which was cut by a bullet
during the war, traverses 1t from fore
head to crown.
Represent iiive Gibson. OF Mary land,
Ia the cavalier OF the Houss. He is
tall, stat lily and elegant, and great
favorite with the ladies'. This is his
l.. - IL l.
shows as many ladies around the Capt.
toll. All the girls from Maryland call
on Mr.. Gibson.
Mr.. Voorhees,, Delegate from Wash
ington Territory, who objects to per-
sons who are not members OF Congress
having all the privileges on the floor
OF the House which are accorded to
him, is lawyer, q son of Senator
Voorhees,, and chip of the old block.
